We're convinced it's blood coming from suitcase – what caller told 999 operator
Mosquera, who was also staying with the couple, 'decapitated and dismembered' them, froze parts of their remains and brought the rest in suitcases to Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, the prosecution said.
A jury at Woolwich Crown Court found Mosquera guilty of murdering the men on Monday.

Avon and Somerset Police were called to the Bristol landmark just before midnight on July 10 last year, after bridge staff became suspicious.
They had been dealing with a woman in crisis when they saw Mosquera with two heavy suitcases on the Leigh Woods side of the bridge.
Mosquera told them the large suitcases, one red and one silver, contained car parts and that the liquid dripping from them was oil.
A cyclist challenged Mosquera about the suitcases and bravely chased after the double killer as he fled down a hill – filming him on his phone.
The 999 call made to police has been released in which the caller says 'we're convinced it's blood' about the case and Mosquera 'didn't want to open the case'.
The caller first says, 'we're going to need police up here quite urgently, I think'.
He says they had a man who was 'dragging a case behind him' and he did not speak English, so a man on a bike came along to help as he could speak Spanish.
The caller said Mosquera told them the suitcase contained car parts.
He added: 'It's really heavy, and there's blood coming out of it. It looks like there's blood coming out of the case.
'He then said there were two cases, so he went up the road to get the second case.
'The guy on the bike who's just a member of the public, followed him. The guy has now run off.'
The caller said of the case: 'It looks like blood to us, without smashing the case open, we're not really going to know, and that's obviously for you, but it's just, it's, it's blood. We're, yeah, we're convinced it's blood.'
He said they, 'did sort of like suggest to him, do you want to open a case? Tell us what's in it', and he 'didn't want to open the case', adding that he 'sat on the case at one stage'.
The caller gave emergency services a description of Mosquera.
Police officers attended the bridge and had to open the suitcases, which contained the torsos and limbs of the victims, Mr Alfonso and Mr Longworth.

Mystery over death of Ukrainian anti-organised crime chief in Benidorm pool
A former official at Ukraine's Interior Ministry has been found dead at the very same Spanish resort where a Russian military defector was murdered. Ihor Hrushevskyi, the ex-head of the anti-crime police unit, was discovered in the town of Villajoyosa, a few miles from the resort popular with British tourists for its packaged holidays. The 61-year-old was floating face-down in the communal pool – no deeper than 1.5 metres – of the Cala Alta house complex, El Español reported. Neighbours pulled him out, performing CPR, but they were unable to save him and when paramedics arrived at the scene, he was pronounced dead. While there were no obvious signs of violence, blood was coming from one ear, so foul play has not been ruled out. The incident happened in the morning of June 29, but the identity of the man was only revealed this week. It was just a few months ago that Hrushevskyi had purchased a flat in one of the blocks and he was still renovating. His death comes a little more than a year after Maksim Kuzinovm – an ex-Russian helicopter pilot, who had deserted to Ukraine – was killed there. Police found his bullet-riddled body in the underground parking garage of that same resort. A burnt-out car apparently used by his attackers was found near the scene of the crime. The 28-year-old fled Russian and landed a Mi-8 helicopter in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv in August, 2023, while flying between two Russian bases. He had reportedly contacted the Ukrainian secret service to inform them of his decision to defect and they had promised him £397,000, protection for his family and new documents. More Trending A state TV report from October, in which Russian propagandists branded Kuzminov 'a traitor to the motherland', claimed that Russian intelligence operatives had received orders to assassinate him. Sergei Naryshkin, Russia's foreign intelligence chief, said at the time: 'In Russia it is customary to speak either good of the dead or nothing at all. 'This traitor and criminal became a moral corpse at the very moment when he planned his dirty and terrible crime.' Ukrainian officials have not yet commented on Hrushevskyi's death.

Colombian man guilty of murdering UK couple, left body parts in suitcases
LONDON, July 21 (Reuters) - A Colombian national was convicted on Monday of murdering two men in London before taking parts of their dismembered bodies in suitcases to Bristol's Clifton Suspension Bridge. Yostin Andres Mosquera, 35, was visiting 62-year-old Albert Alfonso and 71-year-old Paul Longworth at the London flat they shared in July 2024 when he killed the pair and decapitated them, prosecutors said. Mosquera – who prosecutors said had engaged in extreme sexual acts with Alfonso – then put some of the couple's dismembered bodies in two suitcases and attempted to dispose of the bodies in Bristol, southwest England, before he was caught and charged. Prosecutor Deanna Heer told jurors at Woolwich Crown Court that Mosquera killed Longworth with a hammer, before stabbing Alfonso to death after the pair had sex – which was recorded in a video played several times to the jury. Mosquera said in his evidence that Alfonso - who he alleged had been abusive to him and had threatened his family - had killed Longworth before Mosquera killed Alfonso. He had pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder, but admitted the manslaughter of Alfonso by reason of loss of control. He was convicted by a jury on Monday and will be sentenced on October 24.
